1. Why does Seymour kill himself in the end?
2. What do you think is the significance between Sybil's repeated phrase, "see more glass?"
3. Do you think there is any significance behind the fact that Seymour mistook Sybil's canary-yellow bathing suit, for a blue one?
4. Where do you think Seymour's fascination with younger children (ie. Sybil, Sharon) originates from? Why are we as readers, only being told of his interactions with younger children, rather than adults as well?
5. Does Seymour's description of a bananafish (who grows so large from eating all those bananas, that it eventually dies because it gets stuck in the swimming hole) relate to one of the dilemma-based analogies given for a description of Koan in the Technique of Zen excerpt?
